Most electrical work in a home is not a rewire or a new build. It is an extra double socket behind the television, outside power for the garden, a new circuit for an induction hob, a shower that needs a bigger supply, or moving switches when a wall comes down.
These jobs deserve the same care as large installations. A socket added to an overloaded or poorly earthed circuit is not a good job, however neat the faceplate.
What we do
- Additional sockets and switches, including USB and outdoor outlets
- New circuits for hobs, ovens, showers, home offices, garden rooms and workshops
- Kitchen electrics: worktop sockets, appliance isolation, under-cabinet lighting, extractor supplies
- Bathroom electrics: lighting, extractor fans, shaver points and heated towel rails, positioned to suit the bathroom zones
- Extensions and loft conversions: power, lighting, heating controls and data
- Moving and removing sockets, switches and lights during renovation
How a domestic job runs
- Tell us what you need. A short description and a couple of photographs (the consumer unit and the area you want work in) are usually enough to give an initial view.
- We check the existing installation. Before adding to a circuit we confirm it can safely take the extra load and that earthing and protection are adequate. If something needs attention first, we explain why.
- Quotation. You receive a written quotation describing exactly what is included.
- Installation. Cables are routed and concealed properly, floors and finishes protected, and the area left clean.
- Testing and paperwork. Every circuit we touch is tested. You receive the appropriate certificate, and notifiable work is registered with building control.
Kitchens, bathrooms and Building Regulations
In England, some domestic electrical work must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations, including new circuits, consumer unit replacements and certain work in rooms with a bath or shower. Our guide to electrical work and Building Regulations explains what is and is not notifiable.
